Abstract

Improvements in the safety and comfort of footwear having the appearance of having very thick soles.

Description

PRIOR ART
It is old in the art to stitch an elastomeric welt to the lasting margin of an upper of leather, or similar material, and to mold a sole comprising elastomeric material to the shoe bottom so that the welt forming the upper level of the visible shoe sole edge is on the level of the insole of the footwear. The substantial increase in the sole thickness, as it is presently fashionable in shoes of such construction, results in an uncomfortable shoe which is dangerous to the wearer because of the stilt effect of such a shoe.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a portion of the footwear on a mold last prior to the attaching of the sole;
FIG. 2 shows the same view after molding of the sole;
FIG. 3 shows in a side view the finished footwear;
FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7 show sectional views of other executions of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
According to the invention, the elastomeric sole 4 is extended at least on part of its periphery upwardly, as shown at 5 in FIG. 3, to present an apparent sole height 8 at a multiple of the sole thickness 7 under the insole level 3. The apparent sole height might vary, i.e. be greater at the toe and/or heel area, and lower at the shank area 6. Correspondingly, more or less of the upper 1 remains visible.
At the upper edge 2 of the sole extension 5 a sealing welt, located correspondingly spaced from the insole level 3, is secured to the material of the upper 1, usually leather. The welt comprises an outward extension 15 and a portion 14 extending along the upper 1. The material of the welt is preferably elastomeric material compatible with the elastomer of the sole 4. The portion 14 is secured to the upper by a stitching 13 or other means such as heat sealing, etc.
In the manufacture of the footwear, the upper with the welt spaced from the lasting margin 10 is mounted on the mold last 9 of a sole device which includes a sole molding cavity 25. In a loading station of such soling device, the upper is lasted by a lasting string 11 secured to the edge of the lasting margin 10, or by fastening the lasting margin 10 after tightening to an insole 19, or any other of the various lasting methods. As shown in FIG. 1, the lasting string 11 is preferably located on the mold last side between the feather edge and the widest part of the last. This results in savings in material and a reduction in the shirring of the lasting margin. FIG. 1 shows the replacement of upper material between the welt 15 and the lasting margin 10 by a strip 24 secured by a stitching 20 to the lower or inside portion 14 of the welt. Less expensive material than the visible upper material 1 might be used for the strip 24.
As shown in FIG. 4, the portion 14 of the welt might be extended downwardly to form the lasting margin 10 and to carry the lasting string 11. When less lasting stresses are needed, the pre-welted upper might be held on the mold last 9 by a welt plate 16, as shown in FIG. 6. When full lasting is required, the strip 24 might be extended, as shown in FIG. 7, to include not only a lasting margin 10, but also a portion carrying the vamp 26. Elastomeric sheet stock, integrally pervious or made pervious by perforations, is preferred because of its light weight and its strength to take lasting stresses and provide resiliency and strength to the upper if bonded to even very soft leather of thinner gauge.
After the mounting and lasting of the pre-welted upper 1 of the mold last 9, the invention provides for the use of a flat welt plate 16 to bring the outward extending welt 15 from the position shown in FIG. 1 into the position of FIG. 2. The welt plate, usually divided lengthwise, is carried by supports 30 in a pre-selected spacial relation to the mold last 9, so that the correct position of the welt 15 can easily be checked by the operator in the loading station. The absence of a cavity side frame and/or cavity bottom assures ease of flattening the welt, as well as inspection. Thereafter, the unit of mold last, with welt plate and its locating and locking supports 30, is moved into juxtaposition with the sole molding cavity 25. In closing the mold cavity the edge of the welt portion 15 is clamped between the lip plate 16 and the edge 32 of the mold cavity, independent of the lasting means and spaced from the insole level. Substantial clamping pressure can be exerted to assure that even very easily flowable elastomers, such as urethanes, will not run to the outside of the cavity or welt. The lip plate 16 is also used to force the material of the upper 1 around the deformation 21 of the mold last 9, such as shown in FIG. 1, or a groove as shown in FIG. 6. In either case, the deformation of the material of the upper around an edge assures satisfactory sealing of the upper to the last to prevent the running of elastomer upwardly beyond the sealing deformation.
After the molding of the sole 4, either by pouring, injection, or other molding, the footwear is removed from the soling device and the previously clamped edge of the welt 15 trimmed to the sole circumference. The trimming after de-molding can be very close to the upper, giving a nearly weltless appearance, without danger of elastomer flowing to the outside of the welt.

Claims (7)

What is claimed:
1. Footwear comprising an upper, a welt secured to said upper substantially above the insole level, a tread sole, said tread sole having a portion thereof extending upwardly substantially above the insole level to form a peripheral side extension molded to said welt, said sole and side extension being formed of elastomeric material, said welt having a portion thereof extending over and covering and sealing the entire upper peripheral edge of the extension of the tread sole.
2. Footwear according to claim 1 further including lasting means connected to said welt and said welt extends toward the insole level.
3. Footwear according to claim 1 characterized in that lasting means extend from said welt to a centerless insole.
4. Footwear according to claim 1 characterized in that lasting strings are located above the insole level.
5. Footwear according to claim 1 characterized in that the lasting margin includes elastomeric sheet stock.
6. Footwear having an upper and a welt secured to said upper above the insole level, a tread sole formed of elastomeric material molded to said welt, said welt extending to and covering the outer rim of said sole, and string lasting means secured to the lower end of the upper and positioned above the insole level.
7. Footwear having an upper and a welt secured to said upper above the insole level, a tread sole formed of elastomeric material molded to said welt, said welt extending to and covering the outer rim of said sole, and string lasting means positioned above the insole level.
